Peter Nabokov How The World Moves The Odyssey of an American Indian Family
A compelling portrait of cultural transition and assimilation via the saga of one Acoma Pueblo Indian family Born in 1861 in New Mexico’s Acoma Pueblo, Edward Proctor Hunt lived a tribal life almost unchanged for centuries. But after attending government schools he broke with his people’s ancient codes to become a shopkeeper and controversial broker between Indian and white worlds. As a Wild West Show Indian he travelled in Europe with his family, and saw his sons become silversmiths, painters, and consultants on Indian Lore. In 1928, in a life-culminating experience, he recited his version of the origin myth of Acoma Pueblo to Smithsonian Institution scholars. Nabokov narrates the fascinating story of Hunt’s life within a multicultural and historical context. Chronicling Pueblo Indian life and Anglo/Indian relations over the last century and a half, he explores how this entrepreneurial family capitalized on the nation’s passion for Indian culture. In this rich book, Nabokov dramatizes how the Hunts, like immigrants throughout history, faced anguishing decisions over staying put or striking out for economic independence, and experienced the pivotal passage from tradition to modernity. <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>> Images: All of actual item listed Signed: No Format: Hardcover Publisher: Viking Edition: First Printing: First Number Line: 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 Book Condition: Like New Cover: Clean Dust Jacket:

Rather than adopting the "Collectors" method of describing a book, I use the publishers terms for them to provide a more accurate description. So,
That said, while many books state "First
Edition", this term can be confusing. A First Edition can have many
printings but only the First Printing is the True First Edition.
Publishers
all use slightly different methods but most use a number line to define which
printing, state "First Published in"
with no line number or will state "First
Edition" and list no line number. With only one exception the line numbers
will all include a "1" for the True First Printing hence a True First Edition. Random House and
it's subsidiaries use a line starting in "2" (recently they started using
a "1" like other publishers) and state plainly "First Edition" if it is a first
printing and eliminate the "First
Edition" once they start the second printing. Many editions state First Edition, as they are until a reprint is done, but this is not the same as what collectors call a "True First Edition". A books value is in the printing and the First Printing is the most valuable and is referred to as the "True First Edition". An
original Book Club issue released at the time the original First
Edition is released will be described as a First Edition Book Club
and later issues by book clubs will not include the First Edition
designation. In
my listings all True First Editions
will state "First Printing" and if
only stating First Edition it will indicate a later printing or re-issue
in the description. ****************** EBay Book Condition Definitions Terminology Foxing:
